SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY

Who so trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.                                                                     AUG 29 2013

{Abraham} staggered not all the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised he was able also to perform. The children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. It is better to put trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to put trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him in his hand.

O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints, for there is no want to them that fear him

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY

The tree of life                                                                                       AUG 28 2013

God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his son. He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. As the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have Life in himself.

To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bear twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom. Length of days is in her right hand. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: –Christ Jesus, … is made unto us wisdom.

Bibletells: the way of Christian Ministry

Matthew 10:8 “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. “

It showed that the intent of the doctrine they preached, was to heal sick souls, and to raise those that were dead in sin. In proclaiming the gospel of free grace for the healing and saving of men’s souls, we must above all avoid the appearance of the spirit of an hireling. They are directed what to do in strange towns and cities. The servant of Christ is the ambassador of peace to whatever place he is sent. His message is even to the vilest sinners, yet it behooves him to find out the best persons in every place. It becomes us to pray heartily for all, and to conduct ourselves courteously to all. They are directed how to act as to those that refused them. The whole counsel of God must be declared, and those who will not attend to the gracious message, must be shown that their state is dangerous. This should be seriously laid to heart by all that hear the gospel, lest their privileges only serve to increase their condemnation.
